Chapter 58 The Great Hall of the Capital
If the imperial power does not go to the countryside, patriarchal law is greater than national law.
This is the standard configuration of the Ming Dynasty.
It was also what Emperor Chongzhen had always wanted to change.
If we can build permanent grassroots at the "town and town" level in the places under the Ming Dynasty, then the credibility, organizational strength and mobilization of the Ming Dynasty will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
If it can go further and implement it deeply at the village level, it will definitely be considered as a subversion of the original dominant thinking.
However, it is not as easy as you think about this, and it can even be said to be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
In the mind of Emperor Chongzhen alone, the mountains that could be imagined were not so easy to move away.
The actual control and influence of privileged groups such as gentry, landlords, etc. in the local area.
The main means of production are in the hands of a few people.
The long-standing ideological issues of "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce".
The core of land productivity is the lower overall.
The tax system of the Ming Dynasty was mostly not effective in the privileged faction, etc.
If you want to start breaking the deadlock, it will be said that the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty will not be chaotic. What Emperor Chongzhen could think of is to change step by step and adjust it step by step.
If you take a big step, it is easy to get the eggs.
Isn’t this a true supporter who has a solid military power, a new army that is obedient and loyal, can fight, and gives full play to the collective advantage and carry out literacy work?
First, we will base ourselves on the core basic foundation of Beizhili.
Control this fundamental location, another place, another place expansion, Shanxi and Shaanxi, and Liaodong...
All problems in the Ming Dynasty can be properly solved one by one.
"It seems... the Beijing University, which represents diversity, must be set up first." Emperor Chongzhen, who thought a lot, tapped the dragon's desk with his fingers and muttered to himself.
"If this place does not stand, in the ideological field, it does not have any conditions and corresponding soil to accommodate new things."
Emperor Chongzhen stood up and walked towards the East Nuan Pavilion. Seeing this, Han Zanzhou, who was serving, hurriedly followed him.
"Wow..."
Emperor Chongzhen leaned over and searched for something, and Han Zanzhou felt a little worried about his eyebrows.
"The Emperor...what are you looking for? Let me ask you to help the Emperor come and find him?"
"Han Zanzhou, find out the map of the capital for me, and I will put it here if I remember."
"Okay, please rest first, I have an impression of this matter."
Seeing Han Zanzhou rushing in a hurry, Emperor Chongzhen's frown slightly before he stretched out a little.
The Beijing University Church, which was promised to be built by Western missionaries, was actually a gift from Emperor Chongzhen to the children of the lower class of the Ming Dynasty.
He wanted to call the privileged group led by officials and gentry, and the promotion channels firmly controlled by them would loosen and collapse step by step, gradually changing the pattern of the country's talent absorption.
First, based on the imperial villages all over the northern Zhili rule, we opened the corresponding primary school, called the orphans of Enyang, studied and recognized characters in the primary school, and participated in the corresponding military training to improve the system step by step
.
"Han Zanzhou, do you think I want to convert the elephant house in Fucaifang into a university hall? "Is it difficult to pick out the map of Fucaifang, and Emperor Chongzhen said seriously.
"I want to call this place. In addition to studying the Four Books and Five Classics and other sages, I also choose subjects such as science and astronomy. Do you think that if the court and the country know this, will there be a lot of noise?"
"The Emperor..."
Han Zanzhou didn't understand very well what the emperor said meant, but if this matter really needs to be done, the noise would not be small.
"How much do you know about the reconstruction of the elephant house?"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Han Zanzhou who wanted to speak but stopped and said, "The big explosion in the Wanggong Factory in the sixth year of the Tianqi period, I remember that the reconstruction of Fucaifang was specifically constructed by the Ministry of Works. The State Council allocated the corresponding
Silver?
This has been over the past few years, and the reconstruction of the Fucaifang area has been almost done, right?”
"Go back to the emperor, I will know more about the reconstruction of the elephant house."
Han Zanzhou bowed and said, "This place is allocated money from the treasury, which is specially built. The main building of the elephant house has basically been completed, and the rest are some minor repairs.
As for the reconstruction of Fucaifang, I am not very clear about it..."
But when he was talking about this, Han Zanzhou's eyes flashed a little. Emperor Chongzhen knew what was going on when he saw this.
This is an era of cannibalism.
Anything that involves the people at the bottom is always done in the end. As for when it can be done well, it depends on how greedy the money is.
"There are two things you can do immediately."
Emperor Chongzhen reached out and said, "First, renovate the elephant house. I want to set up the Beijing University Hall here and first set up the plaque.
Second, you will go to Shuntian Prefecture and send oral instructions to Sun Chuanting that the matters regarding the reconstruction of Fucaifang will no longer be handed over to the Ministry of Works to handle it, and will be hosted by Shuntian Prefecture.
In addition, the people from the factory told them to go to Xishan, and said that the Beijing University of Technology was going to be built. Regarding the matter of teaching, Chau Wang and others asked him to recommend a group of talents to come to the capital. I will define the scope for them.
, compile a batch of books that teach lessons.
By the way, I will tell the people in the inner factory that I will give orders to the local imperial villages to the eunuchs in the villages to build the primary school of the Huangzhuang to facilitate the further study of orphans in various places.”
"Here!"
In the Ming Dynasty, if he wanted to accomplish something, he would not be able to solve the problem without an efficient operation mechanism. Emperor Chongzhen did not want to investigate in depth. What he now had to do was solve the problem.
The Shuntian Prefecture Office, led by Sun Chuanting, is in charge of the environmental responsibility of rectifying the dirty and messy capital, and also takes the responsibility of rebuilding the capital.
Since the reconstruction of Fucaifang has not achieved any results so far, Sun Chuanting is responsible, and maybe there will be unexpected gains.
As for the education team of the Beijing University, Emperor Chongzhen would not ask Western missionaries to intervene, but they could be asked to be responsible for the compilation of textbooks.
After all, their thoughts are not confined by Confucianism and can compile the textbooks they want according to their own requirements.
Of course, when reviewing textbooks, you must strictly check it. Don’t call the sect’s thoughts to be tainted into the textbooks, and bad things must be laid.
However, Emperor Chongzhen had to consider how to recruit a large-scale teacher team to meet the needs of the Beijing University and primary schools.
"The emperor... how should the elephant group raised in the elephant room be placed?" Han Zanzhou did not leave, and expressed his thoughts, "After all..."
"A bunch of beasts, just find a royal farm and stuff it in."
